Come On and Sarfari With Me

... Is a line from a Beach Boys song (Surfin' Safari) that was released in the Black & White Ages. If you ain't hip like me you may not know that a Surfin' Safari is about traveling to various and sundry beaches, hither and yon, for the purpose of surfing.

The ideal is one is which, "We're on safari to stay" (from Surfin' USA, Beach Boys again). I, a pasty-faced, landlocked white boy have never actually been on a surfin' safari. In fact, I have to confess I've never even been surfing surfin'. However, I have seen all the surfin' movies of the early '60s, and I saw them in the early '60s, which must count for something (I'll never forget you, Annette).

Anyways... I am a world class web surfer and I am on safari to stay, so, I thought that a tab on my website where I post links to shtuff I've found/I find on my travels might be interesting. Going forward I'll only use Facebook to announce a new column (and accept comments...) and to pass on shtuff from the Wall Street Journal (the only possible way to share WSJ articles due a to a paywall and WSJ policy).

About Me

This is the web site of an old fart from Flyoverland (fly-OVER-lund). I live in a highly fortified lair in the mountains of Ohio. Flyoverland is a ginormous chunk of territory consisting mainly of farms and fracking wells. It's what the cool kids from
DC, NYC or Siliconia see if they look out the window. I don't pretend to speak for the natives and claim no special knowledge of the region or it's inhabitants. We were a diverse bunch prior to the Dizzinformation Age and the Great Fragmentation. My goals are to entertain, poke the bear, and perhaps find a way to make some money via my feeble scribbles. Thanks, and God bless (help) us, every-one. I can be bought. If you're interested in publishing or syndicating me before I become famous (and the price goes up dramatically) please contact me via email at: theflyoverlandcrank@gmail.com.
